Who I Work With

Are any of the following statements true for you?

"I'm unhappy in my relationship and I can't see a way through." Change feels difficult, impossible, you don't know where to start. You keep finding yourself in the same distressing feelings and situations.

"I don't know how to cope with this crisis in my life." Perhaps a bereavement, a separation, a birth, an illness or redundancy. Your life has changed and it is difficult to imagine how to live with the change.

"I feel lonely and isolated. Nobody listens to me." It is difficult to talk to friends, family and colleagues about how you feel. You are worried that they won’t understand, that they don’t have the time, or that they will feel burdened by your problem.

"I want to feel that my life is worthwhile." It seems that time is slipping by, that you are being held back, that nothing of significance is happening and your life lacks meaning and purpose.

Helene is one of those rare individuals who sees through whatever she encounters to the deeper Truth. When she listens it's as though she holds every offering like a precious gem and you know that you are in the best kind of hands. I have benefited from her wisdom, compassion and intelligent humour over the many years of knowing her. I highly recommend her as a counsellor, supervisor & mentor.

Who Chooses Counselling With Me?

If any of the following are true for you, you might find counselling helpful:

You feel that you can’t go on with a relationship or situation. You might want to make changes with some things, to develop acceptance with others.

Your day-to-day life is affected by difficult emotions. Perhaps you want to find more helpful ways of expressing feelings of sadness and anger or want to feel some release from shame, guilt or hopelessness.

You are prepared to make a commitment to see if counselling could help. You may not even be sure if counselling could help but you want to commit to an initial period of working to see if it can.

You have already taken steps to make life feel better. You may have spoken to friends, made some changes. Counselling is rarely the first step you will have taken. The fact that you are looking for a counsellor shows you are already taking steps.

You want to deepen the self-exploration that you have already undertaken. Perhaps you have already experienced counselling or therapy, or are a counsellor-in-training, and want to further your self-understanding.

For some of us the challenges that we meet might be specific crises or difficulties, for others, they may be more general feelings of stress or dissatisfaction.

Counselling offers an opportunity for us to understand more about ourselves and our relationships - who and how we are in the world - and can offer alternative perspectives and ways of exploring our experiences.
